Letter to William Atkin, 23 October 1893
Salt Lake City, Utah.
Dear Brother Atkin
Your Letter of Aug 30
has been on my Desk from its date
or near it, and has not been answered
for the want of time But as a telegram
has just reached me from washington
saying that Both Houses has passed the
Law saying that the personal property shall
be Restored from the Receiver to the
presidency of the Church, so I concluded
to write a few lines to you in Answer
to your letter I was glad to learn
that you was still at work in the
Temple you also gave an Account of
you & Wm going to the old pond I dont
think you said how many fish or foll
fowl you got. We are about as Well
as usual I am still suffering with
a cold on my Lungs but at work hard
Evry Day Except Sunday Emma & the children
